Iris 6100 vs Radeon HD 8950 comparison

For gaming, the Iris 6100 graphics card is better than the Radeon HD 8950 in our tests.

Our database shows that the Radeon HD 8950 has a significantly higher core clock speed. The core clock speed (or base speed) is the frequency at which the GPU core runs. This metric makes sense when comparing GPUs of a similar architecture or generation.

In addition, the Iris 6100 has a significantly lower TDP at 15 W when compared to the Radeon HD 8950 at 225 W. This is not a measure of performance, but rather the amount of heat generated by the chip when running at its highest speed.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the Iris 6100 is better than the Radeon HD 8950.
